It isn't but a few months ago, when Oscar Carlstrom himself was a candidate for governor, that he stood on the platform in Marion, Ill., and viciously denounced Louis Emmerson for fail-- ure to ever account to the state for interest earned on state auto license funds. He even charged Emmerson used state money with which to merge two big banks at Springfield. No'attack made on Mr. Emmerson during the present campaign \was as 'vici-- ous as Carlstrom made on him at that meeting in Marion. Yet NOW wevsee Caristrom (not now candidate for governor but instead seeking re--election as attorney general) on the same plat-- form with Emmerson and urging voters to support him. No man in public life in Illinois has ever demonstrated such acrobatic feats of mentality as Carlstroni.. He surely is the world's greatest two-- faced political performer on the stage today. Indicating with force the way the wind is blowing in Chica-- 1 go in the present campaign is the fact that the Small ticket candi-- dates are holding noon meetings in down--town theaters and the theaters are being jammed to capacity--yet the anti--Small can-- didates have held no noon meetings and the reason is, according to generally accepted conclusions, that they are afraid to do o on the fear that THEY cannot draw crowds. -- If they_felt they could get the crowds they'd take advantage of the plan, yet not one such meeting has been attempted.

Lawyers over the state recognize him as an authority on legal matters and then, added to his own personal qualifica-- tions for the position, is the status of Mr." Carlstrom in having done what he did with reference to the Governor. Carlstrom, when he ran for Attorney eneral four years ago, was an obscure, u;ahiovn man. Governor Small wanted to beat Attorney General Brundage and he picked Caristrom up as the man to do it with. The Governor, speaking from platforms all over Illinois, urged the voters to realize that Carlstrom was his choice for Attorney General. infafingthatthermhaddomfitflemnodfingforhim. From that minute on Carlstrom began to lay his lines to run as a candidate for governor this spring and he entered the race in due time. Finally when he found that he was making no headway as a candidate himself without the shadow of the Governor back of him as was the case four years before, he concluded he better not run for governor and, having declared himself against Small, found he could not go back under his wing----therefore he allied himself with the anti--Small faction as a candidate for Attorney People. of Illinois are not forgetful, in fact their memory is very, very good in politics, and few forget about the story of Judas Escariot of Biblical times. Carlstrom's case in his treat-- ment of Governor Small is quite analagous to Judas'--that is why when Mr. Carlstrom 'wakes up this year he will find that voters of Illinois, resentful at his traitorous. treatment of Governor Smail, who made him Attorney General, has been answered in the ballot box and Senator Dailey will have been the choice for the Republican nomination. All thit need be said of the above is: WHO NAMED the Lake County men who held state positions and went to make up that part of the Governor's "machine?" BILL STRATFON NAMED them (the Governor APPOINTED them on Stratton's urgent recommendation). _ _ Who now seeks to BLAME THE GOVERNOR for giving Lake County men positions? Should Lake County voters blame Smail for extending favors to Mr. Stratton? And should Mr. Stratton's organ blame the GOVERNOR for having complied with Mr. Stratton's requests? We ask you! Of course Len Small has taken the blame for almost every-- thingunderthesunandduadditionalblmeatuchedwhimfor recognizing Mr. Stratton's requests won't hurt him any--the only thing is, Mr. Stratton's organ is placing him in a rather awkward position, to be slamming the Governor for something he (Strat-- ton) wanted and got!
